1.4 miles today, sweet stuff

bike is broken again :(  but will be fixed soon

TO DO: get road bike all jazzed up for SUMMER RIDINGGGGG

offsetting bad habits...

jogged 1.4 miles yesterday

1.6 today

I am not, by any means, a runner so this is pretty okay for me.  I'm happy anyways. :)

I think running is the best way for me to clear my mind.  Honestly.

Oh!  and my bike is fixed just in time for this perfect weather!  Ah, life is lookin' up.

I'm trying something new with this one.

I've decided to make some serious changes in my life.

Granted, this computer is great, but it is taking up too much of my time.

As a result, I am deactivating my Facebook, putting the myspace on hold, and limiting my computer time to homework needs only.

I feel like this is a really good thing for me.  There are good vibes written all over this one.

Update:

Might as well post this before I forget the figures.

Just got back from the Rec Center.  Jogged 1 mile and biked 7 miles --  Average mph 18.0.  I'm pretty pumped about that.

A change of pace...

Went to the Rec Center yesterday -- jogged 2.1 miles.  A small beginning, but a beginning nonetheless.  I figured that if I want to start getting in better shape, jogging is the way to go.

As a diet side-note:  it seems full-fletched veganism is right around the corner for me.  Granted, I'm pretty vegan now, but I might as well go all of the way for the betterment of my health.

I'm ending my night with a pretty intense yoga session tonight -- or so I plan to.  Ideally, I want to master crow pose for what it's worth.  Also, hip-openers and hamstring stretches will be a main point of focus, especially considering the fact I am starting to jog more often.

Things are great.

In the motions, all the things that you say. It all will fall, fall right into place.

Things are well -- the weather is great, school is coming along nicely and I have found some motivation deep inside to do things in my best interest.

I applied for a biology job yesterday in the lab.  Hopefully I get it!!  That would be super cool.

I've been keeping up with yoga also!  Which is something that I promised myself I would try to do.  Next step:  master crow pose and move on to more advance asana.  As another unrelated exercise note -- rode 10 miles today!  Riding over 5 really makes me wish I had my road bike in check.  Oh well, soon enough.

***note:  get pedals, toe clips, new tubes, possibly new tires, bibs, jersey, wrap bars

Everything is falling right into place. :)

Falling right into place...

I am doing this blog in hopes of sparking the motivation that I seem to be lacking in my life as of late. It's a new year, and I am determined to treat it as such. To hell with the past, I am ready for a few changes.

Resolutions are pretty overrated in my opinion, but I think that I should at least set some goals to help me feel accomplished when this thing is all said and done.

My goals are as follows, but not limited to:

• bike a ton -- let's say at least 3,000 miles this year, which turns out to be like 8 miles a day (it figures that I am already behind by 80 miles...)
  
• do yoga more!!!
• straight A's (a.k.a. take everything a bit more serious)
• maintain a diet that consists of mostly vegan foods
• start reading
  

School should be pretty good this semester seeing as I am starting to get in to my Major classes. A taste of my schedule, which seems is turning out to be 19 credit hours:

• Economic Botany (2)
  
• Elements of Genetics (3)
  
• General Chemistry 1 (4)
  
• General Chemistry Lab (1)
  
• Trigonometry (2)
  
• Basic Probability and Statistics (3)
  
• Introduction to Independent Investigation (1-2)

As a side note, I have started drawing. I hope to turn these drawing into some sort of collaboration involving batik work. Nothing too special, but just something fun to do.
